Do you have the same birthday cake every year or do you like trying a new one each time? While I admit that every few years I like to mix it up with a chocolate Ganache cake, for the most part I have a carrot cake for my birthday. And not just any carrot cake.…

I’m going to keep this post as simple as these overnight oats. Basically, these oats are healthy yet delicious.
